Cybercrime is on the rise, mostly because of the fact that we are becoming so dependent on the internet and are performing so many essential tasks using this tool. Cybercrime results in financial loss, emotional distress and is just generally a nuisance that anyone would want to avoid, and if you are one of the many that wants to avoid it you need to start learning about cybersecurity. There are a lot of things that you can do in order to protect yourself from security hackers, such as frequently changing your passwords, installing anti-viruses, setting up firewalls and by using updated software versions.

The infographic below will help you understand the general situation when it comes to cybersecurity.
